Kenai Fjords National Park Landcover Map 2008

Data

National Park Service (NPS)

Landcover classes and ecological systems were delineated at an eight ha minimum mapping unit on 1:36,000 and 1:40,000 2004 and 2005 color infrared air photos using a stereoscope. The ecological systems correlate directly with aggregated or single landcover classes. See associated technical re...

Vegetation of the Happy Valley research site was described and mapped by Walker et al. through the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, Tundra Ec...

The vegetation in the vicinity of Oumalik Oil Well Number 1 was described and mapped by J. Ebersole for his doctoral thesis at the University of Colorado, Department of Environmental, Population and Organismic Biology (Ebersole 1985). Funding for the research came primarily from the Cold Climate ...

The Barrow vegetation plots were originally described and mapped by Dr. Patrick J. Webber in 1972 as part of the International Biological Program (IBP). The U. S. Tundra Biome Program focused on long-term studies to understand tundra adaptations as they relate to the distribution of vascular pla...

As part of a larger study to understand the structure and function of Arctic terrestrial ecosystems response to climate change, 48 vegetation study plots were established at the Barrow Environmental Observatory, DOE NGEE Intensive Sampling Site 1, areas A-D. Species cover and plot specific enviro...

The vegetation associated with cryoturbated frost-heave features on the North Slope, Alaska was described by Kade et al. (2005) as part of the "Biocomplexity associated with biogeochemical cycles in arctic frost-boil ecosystems" project (National Science Foundation grant OPP-0120736) from 2002 to...

The vegetation and floristics of pingos on the Central Arctic Coastal Plain of Alaska were described by M. D. Walker for her doctoral thesis at the University of Colorado, Department of Environmental, Population and Organismic Biology (Walker 1990). Funding was provided by National Science Founda...

The vegetation of the Toolik Lake area was described and mapped by D. A. Walker et al. during the Department of Energy R4D (Response, Resistance, and Resilience to, and Recovery from Disturbance in Arctic ecosystems, Grant No. DE-FG02-84ER60242.A006) study in 1988-89. Toolik Lake is a glaciated l...

The ATLAS-2 dataset is part of larger NSF-funded Arctic Transition in Land-Atmosphere System (ATLAS) project. ATLAS-2 contains the Seward Peninsula portion of the project with 52 plots at Council and Quartz Creek. The full ATLAS Transect also includes 15 releves at locations on the North Slope at...

Vegetation from 15 releves within 8 different grids at Barrow, Atqasuk, Ivotuk and Oumalik were described as part of the NSF-funded Arctic Transition in Land-Atmosphere System (ATLAS) project. The full ATLAS Transect also includes locations at Council and Quartz Creek, which are in the ATLAS-2 da...
